Subject: [SFBirds] misc. observations
Today 11/8/24:

RUFOUS/ALLEN'S Hummingbirds - (2) males and a female continue at the
Stanyan trailhead up to Mount Sutro. They are daring anyone with a decent
camera to get shots of their rectrices and be identified to species.

Killdeer - a good count of (89) was noted on Sunset Reservoir, also of
interest for anyone who loves patch birding (~200) Sanderlings flying SW
overland on the corner of 24th and Rivera across the street from Abraham
Lincoln High School which is a "first record" for the hotspot

BALD EAGLE - an adult flew south past Corona Hill at 13:18; thank you Keith
Maley for the alert (the bird was noted a few minutes prior passing by
Battery Godfrey)

TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDS - the wintering flock was feeding behind the Taraval
Library at 22nd Ave, a healthy tally (52) was noted , all but one appeared
to be males.

and belatedly:
HORNED LARKS - 11/6, the morning of the overnight east winds (3) spent
about an hour in the grassland restoration on Twin Peaks before taking off
north

Chipping Sparrow - 11/4 a slightly late migrant was feeding with juncos and
crowned-sparrows along the edge of Lincoln Park Golf Course/East Fort Miley
a couple hundred meters past the Grace's Warbler spot
